50 Yrs Ago, THIS Song Became The FASTEST Selling Song In History. Can YOU Guess This Song?

The 1960s are by far one of my favorite decades of music. The 60s were a lot more experimental and laid the ground work for many of the bands and their works are just legendary. Even now the songs of the bands from 1960s and 70s are recognized and praised by everyone. The bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, to name the few, made a great impact on the music industry; Herman Hermits are one of them.
